Technical description
The User Profile Builder – Beautiful User Registration Forms, User Profiles & User Role Editor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'wppb_two_factor_authentication_settings_update' function in all versions up to, and including, 3.10.8.
